Hey all. First day here in lovely New York City! This morning, I woke up at 6:30, expecting my early wake would be paid off with some grandfather-grandson bonding time. Turns out we left to get bagels at 7:30 once everyone had woken up. Other than that, today was quite nice. After bagels, we went out to the Met, spent a while there, and then Danny and Judie went home to wait for the internet repairs people (they were supposed to come between 12 and 4. It’s now 3:53 and they’re still not here). We browsed through another exhibit, before heading out to get lunch. We stopped at starbucks, since dad and Nina, after waking at 7 and 7:45 were so tired. Psht. Anyways, those who know me know that I never turn down coffee. So I got a raspberry mocha frappucino, and tried some of Nina’s pumpkin frappucino. It was pretty good. Tasted like pumpkin bread and coffee, as one would expect. So then we went to V&T Pizza, where my dad always ate in graduate school, and then went down the street to Columbia. Dad reminisced about his days of grad school, when he was a poor student and had 6 friends, blah blah blah. We went to the Columbia Bookstore-wait, 3:58 and the internet peoples just got here-and I got a shirt. Then we went to see Grant’s tomb, and caught a taxi back to the apartment. Which brings us to where I am now. Tonight, dinner at Artisinal! And…that’s our day.
